We’ve had the Power Skater from Stryde Hockey for about a month now, and the difference we’ve seen in Hunter’s skating has been incredible.
He uses it every day, alongside the camps and training he’s been doing this summer, and we’ve noticed such a significant change in his stride. His strides are longer and more powerful, his body positioning has improved, and he’s starting to get so much more explosion when he moves. It hasn’t made him work less hard. It’s helped him learn how to use his body more effectively, and that has completely changed the way he skates.
But honestly, the biggest thing we’ve noticed has been his confidence. He feels faster. He feels more powerful. He trusts his skating more, and you can actually see that confidence showing up when he gets on the ice.
Cort has also been absolutely fantastic. He’s taken the time to talk to Hunter at his level, understand where he is in his development, and help him figure out what to work on as he progresses. That kind of personal attention is above and beyond what we expected when we bought a training tool, and it has made the whole experience even better.
We couldn’t be happier with the Power Skater or with Stryde Hockey. For us, it has been one of those purchases where you can genuinely see the work translating onto the ice, and watching Hunter recognize that improvement in himself has been worth everything.
